after accepting Windows 8 proposal to upgrade to 8.1, and after restarting, my system behaves as follows
- It logins normally
- Seconds after login a green screen with "please wait" written on it appears.
- The mouse button is also in " please wait" mode.
- I can use Alt+tab to make things switch in the background, but I can't escape this screen.
Waiting for hours doesn't help, nor does a hard restart. What can I do?
- Edit
What did help is the Method 3 in this link. problem now is that it demands me to work from a new user, while a lot of my old stuff is under my old user (for example, Matlab). How can I go back and fix my old user?
just to remark that methods 1,2 and 5 didn't prove themselves useful.

1It sounds to me like you might need to re-install 8.1 I have seen this before, its normally due to a bad install. only way to explain it. – Cameron Does Things – 2014-11-12T06:14:16.683
How can I re install? – Amir Sagiv – 2014-11-12T20:15:52.130
What type of hardware is this? Is this a tablet or is this just a laptop or desktop? – Cameron Does Things – 2014-11-12T20:44:48.600
I'm using a laptop – Amir Sagiv – 2014-11-13T20:59:42.220
problem fixed only through changing my user, see the body for the new edit – Amir Sagiv – 2014-11-13T21:04:52.927
